that’s not how stress testing works. Different games will present different load to a given combination of hardware. Besides that, computers are used for many more tasks in addition to gaming. Careless re-tuning can lead to a lapse in system integrity in ways that aren’t immediately apparent, but damaging all the same.

you may never have done this kind of optimization before, but when it comes to undervolting, it becomes clear pretty quickly that the wrong settings were chosen. so let me repeat: separate load testing makes no sense for someone who just wants to play games in a cool room during the summer, it’s just a waste of time and electricity. and let’s forget about the careless re-tuning thing; we obviously all undervolt with care, precision, and a ceremonial blessing.
